Sense Adventures offers guided day activities and short breaks in mixed groups to blind and sighted people in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.  Founder Dee is herself visually impaired and aims to offer the activities that she sought for herself, but could not find.

Sense Adventures gives you the chance to take time out to explore a new part of the English countryside in a safe and secure environment.  Activities take place in the Malvern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty nestling between the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.​  Famed for its dramatic hills and for the pure spring water that flows from them, the Malvern Hills offer so much more besides.
Our activities and holidays aim to be fun and inclusive.  We can accommodate individuals and couples alike.
Sense Adventures has featured on several BBC radio programmes.  You can listen to Dee talking about Sense Adventures on BBC Radio 4's In Touch programme in May 2023 and on BBC Hereford and Worcester in July 2019 via the links below:
